Application Pool

CMS invites all MIPS-eligible clinicians who are participating in MIPS as individuals or as part of a group to apply. The study team is not looking for the most MIPS-savvy physicians; rather, the team wants to know more about physicians' experiences participating in the program.

A limited number of physicians who are not MIPS-eligible in 2018 also will be included in the study. Go online now(qpp.cms.gov) to check your MIPS participation status.

Participant Requirements

Study participants must meet certain requirements to receive the full improvement activity credit; for instance, physicians must

complete a 2017 MIPS participation survey in April/May 2018,

fill out a 2018 MIPS planning survey in September/October 2018, and

meet minimum requirements for the MIPS quality performance category by submitting data for at least three measures.

Data submitted must include one outcome measure, be submitted through any method accepted under MIPS for the 2018 QPP and be submitted by the March 31, 2019, reporting deadline.

In addition, a small number of participants will be invited to join a 90-minute focus group that will be scheduled sometime between November 2018 and February 2019.
